            HOLD BACK THE RIVER (capo on 3th fret!)


[Intro]  

G - D – G – D – Em7 – D – A


[Verse]

G         D        G       D
Tried to keep you close to me,
    G        D      A
But life got in between
G          D        G      D
Tried to square not being there
     G         D               A
But think that I should have been.


[Chorus]

           G                     
           Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
           G                     Em7
           Hold back the river so I …
                 D                       
           … can stop for a minute and see where you hide
           D                        A    -  G  D
           Hold back the river, hold back


[Verse]

G      D     G         D
Once upon a different life
   G         D              A
We rode our bikes into the sky
G      D      G          D
Now we call against the tide
       G       D                A
Those distant days are flashing by


[Chorus]

           G                     
           Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
           G                     Em7
           Hold back the river so I …
                  D                       
           … can stop for a minute and be by your side (see where you hide)
           D                        A  
           Hold back the river, hold back

           G                     
           Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
           G                     Em7
           Hold back the river so I …
                  D                       
           … can stop for a minute and be by your side (see where you hide)
           D                        A  
           Hold back the river, hold back


[Bridge]

G    D    G    D    Em7  D      A
Ho hoho, oho, oho, oho, oho, owoho
D                                    G              Em
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander, let us hold each other
D                                    G              Em
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander, let us hold each other …

                  D                       
           … can stop for a minute and be by your side (see where you hide)
           D                        A  
           Hold back the river, hold back

           G                     
           Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
           G                     Em7
           Hold back the river so I …
                  D                       
           … can stop for a minute and be by your side (see where you hide)
           D                        A  
           Hold back the river, hold back


[Bridge]

D                                    G              Em

D                                    G              Em
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander, let us hold each other …
